These gluten-free, dairy-free fried artichoke hearts are one of my absolute favorite treats! They are so good – everyone just gobbles them up. Gluten-Free Fried Artichoke Hearts I love fried foods. Almost as much as meat and potatoes. We fry a lot of things. And there are several different methods. This one is super easy! Just recently, I actually, successfully made a chicken fried steak....
Southwestern Egg Rolls I LOVE the Southwestern Egg Rolls they serve on the appetizer menu at Chili’s. And I desperately miss being able to eat them. But I love to take an old comfort food recipe and adjust it to fit into my dietary restrictions: gluten-free, dairy-free (except for goat cheese/milk or Parmesan), clean as possible, organic and non-GMO if possible. I had huge success...
Cauliflower Leek Potato Soup is made with chicken stock and coconut milk for a delicious, creamy, gluten-free, casein-free version of a classic soup. Cauliflower Leek Potato Soup I love soup! And we eat soup often around here. At least once a week, I’ll make up a big batch of soup and freeze some of it for lunches. I especially love chicken tortilla soup and of...
Gluten-Free Ranch Style Beans I’m not sure if it is just a Texas thing, but we love our Ranch style beans. They are usually made with pinto beans, jalapeño, garlic, lots of spices, beef broth and tomato sauce. Savory, with a little kick of heat, Ranch beans make a perfect side dish. They especially make a great combo with restaurant style Tex-Mex rice (also...
Sir Kensington’s Chipotle Mayo Before we get to the shishito peppers and spiked chipotle mayo recipe, I want to talk about how much I love Sir Kensington’s Chipotle Mayonnaise. They have several clean products made with gluten-free and nonGMO ingredients. As well as using fair trade organic cane sugar and certified humane free range egg yolks. So you get a pretty clean product that also...
Gluten-Free Puff Pastry Beignets Yes, please! They were good. Really, really good. And it only took three ingredients to make these amazing little gluten-free puff pastry beignets. We recently discovered that Schär makes a gluten-free puff pastry dough. And it is lactose-free too (no dairy ingredients as far as I can tell). I can’t even describe how excited I was. Right now the only...
Pimento Cheese Recipe #2 I love pimento cheese. I could eat an entire gallon of it in one sitting. So I was really excited to be able to make it again when I started to use goat cheese in recipes that I used to make all the time. Like this Died and Went to Heaven Pimento Cheese. It’s really is just a combo of cheese,...
Game Day Noms These ranch cucumber bites were so easy to make with just five simple ingredients. Well easy except for me trying to figure out how to add the piping bag to the decorating tips and not succeeding. But the rest is so easy. They are naturally gluten-free and made with goat milk cream cheese from Trader Joe’s, artisan goat milk yogurt, ranch spice...
Asparagus Mango Salad with Goat Cheese Croutons? Yes, goat cheese croutons! Made with honey chèvre goat cheese and organic gluten-free rice cereal! Just freeze the cheese, cut it up, coat in gluten-free flour, dip in egg wash, coat with crushed cereal and fry. Super easy and so good. I have been loving all the fried things we have been making lately. Do you miss gluten-free...
Fried Smashed Fingerling Potatoes So these fried smashed fingerling potatoes were a very happy accident. Super crispy fried potatoes with a soft center, sprinkled with smoked paprika and fresh cilantro then served with Sir Kensington’s Chipotle Mayo. It was so good! Originally published July 1, 2019. Like a cross between a potato chip and French fries. These would be great to serve at a BBQ...
